Can you afford to get the gear box fixed? if we were not in difficulties ourselves at the moment with the conservatory I'd offer to lend you some of the kids money (they are loaded) but we are going to have to use it ourselves to pay for the job. Things are really tight at the moment as I have not been paid since the early summer...which is actually my own fault as our wage has gone up so I'm hanging onto my invioce so that I get paid the higher amount.
Went to Tesco this morning...I just feel sick when I see the amount edging up to £100 and there is still a pile on the conveyor belt. We need to seriously look at our food outgoings. Trouble is I have no imagination and can only think of baked potato, pasta and tuna burgers. Any ideas?
